A10911	The summe of Christianitie reduced vnto eight propositions, briefly and plainly confirmed out of the holy worde of God.	Rogers, John, fl. 1560-1580.	1578 (1578)	STC 21183; ESTC S112989	19,396	49

with calling vppon the name of the Lorde And that the worde might be made yet more profitable vnto vs it hath pleased the Lord vnto that libertie wee haue of reading hearing read studying and meditation of his holy scriptures knowing the weakenes of our capacitie dulnes of vnderstanding hardnesse and vntowardenesse of our corruption in great wisedome and mercie to ordeine that the same woorde might be applied vnto vs by the holy ministrie of preaching wherevnto he sanctifieth and annointeth by the giftes of his spirit such as he hath chosen and doeth sende foorth into the labour of his haruest Of which S. Paule speaketh when he saith that Christ ascending vp into heauen and leading captiuitie captiue gaue giftes vnto men and filled al things that there might be in his church some Apostles some Prophets some Euangelistes some Pastors and teachers to the knitting together of the Saintes to the woorke of the ministerie and building vp of the bodie of Christ vntill wee all come vnto the vnitie of faith and of the knowledge of the sonne of God vnto a perfit man euen vnto the perfect grouth of the stature of Christ that we might not be tossed and carried with anie blast of doctrine either by the declining frailtie of our owne corruption or by the exercised subtiltie of our aduersarie This ministerie is called the ministerie and ambassage of peace reconciliation which the Lord hath put in the mouthes of all his ministers that being Legates and Ambassadours insteade of Christ as if God himselfe intreated vs by them it might be saide vnto vs in the name of Christ be yee reconciled vnto God. These are the salt of the earth and the light of the world For the same God which in the beginning commaunded light to shyne out of darknes is he that shineth in the heartes of his seruauntes that they might giue foorth the light of the knowledge of the glorie of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Who him selfe saieth that as Moses lift vp the serpent in the deserte so must the Sonne of man be lift vp that all that beleeue in him should not perish but haue euerlasting life And S. Paule saith that the Gospel preached is a most liuelye painting out of Christe before our eyes and a visible crucifying of him in our sight And though it be counted of the worlde foolishnesse and esteemed as ouer weake a meanes to so great a woorke yet is it the mightie power of GOD vnto saluation and the highe wisedome of the Lorde by the foolishnes whereof those shal be saued that beleeue It is the Gospel of Christ and the same preached wherewith it pleaseth the Father to beget vs againe vnto himselfe that we might be the first fruites of his creatures being borne a newe not of mortal seede but of immortall by the woorde of God which woorde abideth for euer and the same is it saith S. Peter which is preached This is that moste excellent forme of Doctrine wherevnto the Lorde hath committed vs to be taught that being obedient thervnto we might be deliuered not onely from the guiltines of sinne but also from the seruitude and bondage of the same As the Spirit of God first beginneth to work faith in our hearts by the woord of the Gospell preached so doeth he continue nourish confirme encrease faith in vs by the self same meanes Wherfore S. Peter exhorteth vs that as newe borne babes wee shoulde long after that sincere milke of the woord that by it wee may growe vp and comming vnto Christ which is the liuely stone our selues also as liuing stones may be builte vp a spirituall house vnto God and made an holy priesthoode to offer vp spirituall sacrifices acceptable vnto God through Jesus christ And when wee are passed the age of our infancie in Christ the same word preached is our sound fast meate wherwith the Lord still feedeth vs in his familie vntill that hauing finished the course of this life and ended the daies of our pilgrimage and warrefare in this worlde hee take vs home into his owne kingdome Unto the worde of the Gospell preached for the more strengthening confirming of our faith in the assuraÌ„ce of our saluatioÌ„ by Christ it hath pleased God in like wisedom and goodnesse towards vs knowing our weakenes and pittying our infirmitie to adde the vse of two holy Sacramentes Baptisme and the Supper of the Lord The SacrameÌ„t of Baptisme is an holy signe seale annexed by God himself vnto the promises of the Gospel to witnesse and pledge vnto vs the forgiuenes and washing away of our sinnes in the sacrifice of the death of Christ and our iustification before the Maiestie of God in the perfection of his obedience also our ingrafting into that bodie wherof Christ is the head from whom streameth the fountaines of life and grace into all his members Further that being baptized into his death wee shall by the power thereof die vnto sinne and by the power of his rising againe be our selues raised vp in a newe creature to walke before him in true holinesse and righteousnesse all the dayes of our life and that we shall be raised vp in the last day out of the dust of earth and meete the Lorde in the aire and dwell with him for euer In the meane time that as we are by one Sacrament of Baptisme coupled vnto one heade so we should consent together in vnitie of spirite preseruing the same by the bond of peace endeuouring those things which first appertaine vnto the glorie of God and then not seeking euery one his owne in priuate but as members of one body mutually the edifying and profite one of another The Supper of the Lorde being a seale of the same promises further witnesseth and sealeth vnto our consciences that Christ is that breade of life which came downe from Heauen and fountaine of saluation of which who so tasteth shall liue for euer And that as truely as our bodies by natural meanes are made partakers of the creatures of bread wine vnto the nourishment of this present life so our soules by the hande and mouth of faith through the power of the spirite of God are made partakers of the body and blood of Christ that he dwelling in our hearts by fayth wee might become bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh vnto the assured hope of euerlasting saluation Also in this Sacrament is not onely confirmed vnto vs the misticall vnion betwene Christ and his Church but also taught vs what vnitie and loue ought to be amongst vs which being all partakers of one bread and one wine are first coupled vnto one head Jesus Christ as members of his bodie and then mutually made members one of another Unto the worthie receiuing of this holy Sacrament it

and Messiah in Hebrue signifieth anointed giuing vs to vnderstand that this is he whom the father hath chosen sealed and anointed with his spirit to be our Prophet Priest King and is made vnto vs from God wisedome righteousnesse sanctification redemptioÌ„ that no flesh might glory before his Maiestie but that whosoeuer glorieth might glorie in the lord Christ the eternall wisdome of his Father from the beginning was the onely Pastor and teacher of his Church reuealing by his spirit vnto the holy Fathers and Prophets the doctrine of saluation But in the fulnesse of time taking vpon him our nature he came into the world our wisdome from God in his owne person out of the bosome of his father declaring vnto vs all the councels of God concerning our redemptioÌ„ and that in greater measure and clearenes of vnderstanding then euer before from the beginning Further as he is the chiefe pastour and shephearde of the flocke so is it he in whom all the promises of God are yea and Amen Who is also al and in all of whom we haue receiued commaundement from heauen that we shoulde heare him He is therefore both the teacher and the thing that is taught He is made our righteousnesse first in that he hath fully satisfied the iustice of GOD borne the stripes of our correction and the chastisement of our peace taking vpon him the curse of the lawe due vnto vs for our sinnes and by bearing and ouercomming the same hath deliuered vs from the power of sinne Satan hell and the wrath of GOD and made an euerlasting attonement vppon the altar of his Crosse offering vp himselfe an oblation and sacrifice of moste sweete sauour vnto the lord Secondly in that he hath accomplished all the righteousnesse of the law that we in his obedience hauing the same imputed vnto vs might be iustified before God and obtaine the blessing of the lawe which is eternall life He is made our holines or sanctification because in him is found the lawe of the spirite of life which deliuereth vs from the law of sinne and of death For it is he onely that hath condemned sinne in the fleshe that is to say hath perfectly purged cleared our nature of sinne in his owne person by ioyning it vnseparably vnto his deietie that wee beyng clothed with his most pure and vnspotted humanitie might in all respectes appeare acceptable and well pleasing in the sighte of the Lorde He is made our redemption not nowe to offer vp anie newe sacrifice for sinne which hee hath already done once for al But that hauing all power geuen to him both ouer thinges in heauen and thinges in earth he mighte rule and gouerne his Churche by his worde and by his spirit guyding and defending the same in the Pilgrimage and warfarre of this life vntill the day of our adoption shall appeare euen the deliuerance of our bodies what time he shall returne our redeemer from heanen and shall change our vile bodies that they may be made like vnto his glorious bodie according vnto that power whereby he is able to subdue all thinges vnto himselfe In the meane time sitting at the right hand of GOD our aduocate and intercessour with the father not only to make intercession for vs but also to presente vnto the Lorde our selues our soules and bodies and all that wee haue and do our prayers and obedience an holie and acceptable Sacrifice vnto his Maiestie The thirde proposition Saluation by Christ appertaineth only vnto them that beleeue in him HE that beleeueth in the sonne is not condemned but hath eternall life and he that beleueth not the sonne is alredy condemned neither shall he see life but the wrath of GOD remayneth vppon him because hee hath not beleeued in the name the onely begotteÌ„ sonne of god Faith therfore is the only meanes wherby we possesse Jesus Christ and in him althe mercies of God vnto our saluation For by faith Christ dwelleth in our harts that beyng rooted and grounded in the loue of God wee might bee able to comprehend with all Saintes what is that breadth length and depth and height and to knowe that loue of Christ which passeth all knowledge and to bee filled with all that fulnes of god Faith is that testimonie of our consciences wherby we are assured from the witnesse of the Spirite of God that all our sinnes are pardoned and forgeuen vnto vs in the merite of the Sacrifice and death of Christ and that we stande iustified as righteous before God in the perfection of his obedience and through him are nowe the adopted childreÌ„ of his father and heires of his euerlasting kingdome in that we are made meÌ„bers of his bodie euen bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh to become with him one spirit and spiritual temple vnto God. The fourth proposition of the causes of faith in the worde preached and sacraments ministred Faith commeth by hearing and hearing by the worde of God. Rom. 10. 17. THis faith is not borne with vs neither groweth it out of our corrupt nature nor is bought with earthly treasure nor attained vnto by the labour and industrie of man but is the free and gracious gifte of GOD vnto his children whom he loued froÌ„ before al beginnings wrought in their heartes by his spirite through the preaching of the Gospel Which spirit is therefore called the spirit of adoption because it beareth witnes vnto our spirits that we are the children of God and heires of his kingdome teaching vs with boldenes confidence to crie Abba father and the Gospel preached is called the arme of the Lorde and the mightie power of God vnto saluation The grounde and foundation of our faith is the worde of God especially that part thereof which contayneth his moste louing promises made vnto vs in Jesus Christe This woorde was geuen vnto man from heauen firste by the Lord himselfe speaking vnto the Fathers in his owne person then by the ministery of his holy angels after by his seruauntes the Prophetes Last of all by his owne Sonne in whome are all the treasures of wisedome and knowledge hidde This worlde remaineth vnto vs in the recordes of the olde and newe Testament which bookes were written by the holie men of GOD his Prophetes and Apostles inspired by the holy Ghost is profitable to teach to confute to reprooue to instructe in all righteousnesse that the man of God may be perfect and perfectly instructed vnto euerie good woorke contayning all thinges necessarie for vs to knowe vnto eternall life from whiche we may not take any thing neither put anie thing vnto it This worde is plaine and easie to bee vnderstood of them that desire to doe the will of God and seeke after wisedome in humilitie
